Right after we take up the offering on Sunday nights, we have "Meet and Greet." Everyone gets out of their pew to greet visitors and saints. {I love that we do it at this time - we catch any late comers, but also catch any who might leave before service is completely over.} I greeted Danelle and her family. They seemed so happy to be with us in service.
Danelle was really touched during the altar service. I prayed with her and when service was over spent time getting to know her. They have lived on Oahu for six years and have been searching for a church. They have visited many denominations and haven't found what they've been searching for. Many non-denominational churches have told her they are "like Pentecostal" but it wasn't enough for her. She prayed that God would lead her to the right church.
A few weeks ago Danelle started working for a cleaning company. She was cleaning a home and saw a card that said "New Life Pentecostal." It was Pastor and Sister McGriffin's home! Danelle knew this was the church she wanted to visited! She was not disappointed when she came last night.
Think there aren't hungry hearts searching for God? Think again! My Bible reading today included Matthew 9:37-38, "Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest."
